Progress of a self taught cabinet maker #6: Another Reason to hate finished handles.

The thing I hate is looking through all on display to find one that the grain runs the right way so it wont break the first time you use it! The manufacturers just don’t give a good gosh darn!!

Leave that bug on there please. He’s a wood working fly. He committed suicide just to be sure he’s always near wood working. Please, for the love of all that is holy, don’t take away his only dying wish. Let him stay near the wood working.
Hahahahah!
Seriously though folks. Just when I think I’ve seen it all….................

…makes me think I have these glossy handles on my plane, but my card scraper is not sharp and it’s midnight… hmm… sounds like a trap :)

Nearly one hour later…

Argh. A trap indeed :D Know and tote partially sanded, will need some more time to do all the concave curvy bits properly. I’m not sure what the wood is but it’s going to look and feel great under a coat of tung oil…

Glad I got some people going.
